I emailed Scion with their customer form today, inquiring about the Sirius Radio option that is to be available in February 2005 (according to this press release http://www.sirius.com/servlet/Conten...=1101254447546).

This is the response I got from Scion.

Thank you for contacting Scion.

We have no current plans to offer Sirius radio as an option on our vehicles.

I hope this is a marketing company that has no clue that THIS IS AN OPTION COMING FROM TOYOTA.

Looks like it could be an automatic response depending on the wording of your letter.

Maybe it's just easier to call them in this case..?

I put SIRIUS in my TC the day after I got it thanks to the PIE TOYAUX3.

Where did you place the antenna?

i think it's hilarious that the person writing you a response doesn't have a clue.. i already read the press release and it mentioned Scion as well as Toyota products.. even said the tC specifically would have sirius satellite radio as a dealer installed option beginning in february.. another customer service person who doesn't have a clue.. i asked about it and they told me i'd need a new radio for that.. so i guess the person i talked to knew what was going on..

Well, if they are saying we need a new headunit, I want to know if there will be a core-trade program or something for those of us who have a tC but would like to do the factory option Sirius.

Go to scion.com and do the live chat thing. It's a neat feature and you can just dump the link on the chat window and tell them to check it out themselves.

sciontc_mich

yeah i wonder about that core trade too.. i would think that soon they would know what's going on.. (since feb is approaching fast)

larry_flint

how much?

mancide

What Sirius unit are you using there? That fits in that compartment really well actually. Where did you mount the antenna? Etc. etc....

Basically tell us about that setup you have there.
